American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

For the few lucky ones who already have Campaign Shiloh,

Can somebody give me the # of turns of the six historical scenarios ?
Belmont, Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, New Madrid Bend, Mill Springs and Shiloh. These six scenarios will probably be added to the 1st Historical ACW tournament.

Thank you.

WOW! Now I am looking forward to this one. I hope this means that with Gettsyburg and Shiloh redone we can look forward to a <i>Campaign: Antietam</i> and <i>Campaign: Bull Run</i>.

Okay, now I'm convinced that HPS actually is serious about their ACW Campaign series. It's time to order the rest of their ACW battles so that I have a complete set as of now and it'll be easier to keep up in the future. Let's see - I'm 57 years old now and I should be able to play until I'm 92 so yes it should be worthwhile to get 35 years worth of play out of them.

Ned,

Didn't you mean to say you play like a 92 year old? [:p]

Nelms told me to say that! [:D]
